As a child I was so envious reading of children who took their ponies to camp but my parents couldn't afford a pony so it was weekly riding lessons and pony books.
I was in my late 50's before I could afford my own horse and it does make you feel 12 again which is probably why I jumped at the chance of taking my horse away for the weekend when it was talked about last year even though my grumpy lad is not the easiest of horses.
Oh .how quickly the time has passed and I am so nervous because I,m so unfit for riding and it's Tomorrow!!
I had such great plans to get riding fit but 3 weeks holiday has not helped and at 66 my muscles need regular exercise or they hurt.The others are all regular riders and at least 20 years younger.They are packing wine and I;m packing painkillers and praying not to break anything.
I'm scared and excited and wondering if I've bitten off a bit more than I can chew.
Wish me well.
